I'm a rollergirl!
Okay, this is me committing to journaling again. I can do this, i can do this!
The topic that makes me realise i might possibly have something to discuss that interests anyone is the fact that i tried out last Saturday for the Albany Allstars Rollerderby team...and was accepted!
WOOT.
So here i sit post first workout, a tiny bit sore and a lot bit tired, contemplating this choice of mine. We didn't skate due to the delay in getting insurance for new members, though i already sent in my payment. I also bought a starter kit of skates and pads, for a bit more money than i strictly speaking have right now. So i'd better stick with it to recoup the investment ;)
I am not the least in shape on the team, though i'm clearly in the lower half and possibly in the lower quarter. The main thing that held me back today was a groin pull i gave to myself at work on Wednesday. I totally deserved it, doing improper lifting and not using a hand jack when the situation clearly called for one. So i'll be trying to let that heal up simultaneously with proving to them that i'm indestructable, invincible, and deserving of a kickass derby name.
Now, i have to go out and buy brightly coloured knee socks ;)
